Plenty of glass, but not many keepers.

Had a day to myself, so I headed back to the
dump. Spent a tough four hours moving dirt.
Found a lot of glass circa 1900, but most of
finds were slicks. The bottles that were em-
bossed were either common or very common.
Among my finds was a Paine's Celery
Compound, a Duffy's Malt Whiskey, a quart
Mason's patent fruit jar, three Fellow's, a
Maltine Chemist with some of it's label still
present, a Mrs Winslow's, a sample bottle
marked Kilgore New York, and two local
druggists marked The Morse Drug Store
Chadwick &Co.

Good glass, you're in a decent turn of the century+ area and a great start for a collection. Here's a link on "maltine" and it's magical powers.

Great link Bass. Thanks. I forgot to post a picture of the label.

I think you found some great bottles!
I'd take any of those over the little milk glass jars I've been finding at my dump.

hay man , they may be common to use ( bottle diggers) but always have to remind my self there over a hundred years old and there not made any more . The Maltine and Pains are nice bottles . and if you have a place to find them count yourself lucky . I started digging 43 years ago then you cud pick good bottles up just laying on the ground , dumps were all over . you cant say that now ,

Thanks for your feedback Sunrunner. You're right when you say that it is getting harder and harder to find good bottles. Heck, I even brought a Vaseline home from this last dig. It's the jar in the bottom right of the group photo. It was a close call but the size of the jar and a prominent imperfection won me over.
